Soon to be mom
Hello, I’m a 25 year old pregnant woman with epilepsy and I’m on 2000mg of
keppra
a day. I really need answers from the epileptic moms out there, the questions I have are: - Do I have to worry about breastfeeding while on
keppra
? Will it have any affects on my baby?

Myoclonus and Sleep Deprivation
Update 2/7/19: I met with my new neurologist since my long time neuro retired and she prescribed
Keppra
for the first line of defense.

Use caution with your meds.
It wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't have Lyrica and
Keppra
to take at 4 O'Clock. So my feet are burning something fierce right now. That's also probably why I didn't sleep all that well. I'll definitely check what im taking from now on.

34 yrs,7 meds and a surgery later: Only Marijuana controls my seizures. Less side effects, less money, and greatly improved quality of life.
Phenabarbital, Dilantin, Trileptal,
Keppra
, Vimpat, Fycompa, Lamictal, Surrgery: I SWEAR TO YOU, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART THAT MARIJUANA IS THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR MY EPILEPSY! I FINALLY HAVE SOME FREEDOM BACK IN MY LIFE :o)

Lamictal and electric shock nighttime 'seizures'
I have had JME for nearly fifty years, but I was on
Keppra
, then Epilim, then Fycompa, all with Lamictal from circa 2012 that caused the question?

Problems getting Vimpat filled in different states, now controlled?
Then I pay up to $850 per month for this med, along with
Keppra
and BP meds yadda yadda. So....why is it so hard for me to get this med that’s keeping my seizures controlled? Tomorrow or tonight they will start sometime soon but I can’t do anything about it? Something just isn’t right?

Alternative treatments for RLS.
I’ve posted because I’ve read this very good article about
Keppra

He’s on a new med called Vimpat in combination with the
Keppra
. Every 20-30 days he has a grand mal seizure so hopefully the Vimpat is going to help.

Pregnancy and epilim/keppra
They scanned me and I was only reading just 5 weeks so they did a quick 24 day changeover to
keppra
. I'm now on 500mg
keppra
and 200mg sodium valporate am/pm. To further decrease epilim this week.

CBD in lieu of anti convulsants
I take 500mg of
Keppra
twice a day to control my clonic tonic seizures. I’ve been told this is a low dose, but it has been affective in keeping me seizure free. Has anyone had experience with weening themselves off of
Keppra
(or other anti convulsants) and replacing with CBD?

Elevated D-Dimer; No Pulmonary Embolisim
That said,
Keppra
seems to help these episodes. Upon admittance to the hospital I developed high pitched ear ringing that hasn't gone away since, though it does switch ears, changes pitch, volume, etc.

Looking for Answers
I was one of the first to try
Keppra
and it worked, at least to a point. Years later still with the same neurologist that put me on
Keppra
, I developed a (believed to be) autoimmune disease called Stiff Person Syndrome. This disease causes severe muscle spasms and rigidity.
